高野山 宿坊 恵光院 -Koyasan Syukubo Ekoin Temple-

I’d warmly recommend Eko-in to anyone looking to visit Koyasan. Not only is the location exceptional, being right next to Oku-no-in cemetery, but the rooms were amazing - beautiful and clean - and the staff was incredibly helpful. Everyone was very comfortable helping guests out in English, and they were very kind and accommodating as well. We were also invited to participate in meditation sessions, morning religious services, and of course the fire ritual, which was a wonderful experience. Dinner and breakfast, prepared in the traditional buddhist way (shōjin-ryōri) were served in the room, and everything was delicious and prepared with care. Another big plus is that they welcome guests with tattoos in the communal bath! Overall, nothing but positive impressions from Eko-in.

Beautiful and unforgettable experience. The Monks staff very kind, they accept tourist into their world. The vegetarian food (no meat, no fish, no onion, no garlic) was delicious. We are honoured to be part their buddhist ceremony in the morning. Thank you for everything.

An incredible experience, staying in a monastery and eating like monks for one day. The whole experience of going up the mountain on the train and cable car in Dec in the snow was magical. The monastery is stunning, monks welcoming and the room and food are completely authentic. We got up at 6am to listen to morning prayers which was quite mind blowing. We spent 3 hours in the cemetary at night, walking up to the shrine which was a highlight of our visit to Japan. It's really important to remember that this is not a hotel it is a real, operating monastery. In Dec it is freezing (minus 2 on the inside) but the bedrooms have heaters and we were very cosy at night. The dinner and breakfast are 100% Buddhist monk fodder. Buckle up and eat pickled seaweed for breakfast. You will have a great time if you go with it. Our family of four have told everyone about our time in the mountains, a once in a lifetime experience.

    wonderful atmosphere in this spiritual village. Our room was exceptionally large, comfortable and both modern and traditional. It included a small zen garden and a beautiful hot bath. The top level Buddhist food was both plentiful and delicious. Wifi was good. Rooms were very clean. Keep in mind this is a traditional Japanese hotel and you have to remove shoes everywhere you go. The meditation session was short, but informative. The night tour was also interesting. The morning prayers were also moving.

    This was a beautiful experience. The temple is gorgeous. The rooms were very clean. Everything I needed was there. Joining in the meditation and listening to the morning chanting was restful. It was in a great spot, close to the road but calm and peaceful inside. It was a short walk to Koyasan village and many of the attractions.

    This place was hard to get to from Osaka but so worth it! The village is spectacular and this property offers dinner and breakfast so you can enjoy the surroundings and not worry about food. It is more traditional than other places you'd stay at, you get to experience sleeping on the floor and the food they serve is vegan.

    Excellent authentic and comfy stay in Eko-in Temple at Koyasan village! Food was an amazing experience on our first days in Japan! We also attended to morning ceremonies which were interesting (we also got some pre-information about the Buddhist ways with a Okunoin night tour).

    Authentic temple stay experience. Awesome temple - like a large Japanese villa. Simple rooms which were well worn but comfy beds. You're here for the experience though - food, onsen and morning prayer ceremony all fantastic opportunities to try something new for Westerners. We were a family with teens and all loved it!
